Afro-Cuban Jazz

Machito -Mucho Machito and Kenya have both been recently reissued. Sabu Martinez -Jazz Espanole is excellent and timeless and was just reissued on Vampi Soul, which are by the way a great source for hard to find latin jazz reissues. They also have some Cal Tjader LPs that I highly recommend. Snowboy has some killer latin jazz albums like Mambo Rage, but watch out for his cheesy R&B ones. Jack Costanzo has a new one out. There are some great latin jazz compilations on Soul Jazz, Soundways, Honest Jon's and others. Ubiquity has been reissuing the Fantasy catalogue. They also put out the new Costanzo and Aguabella albums on CD and vinyl.

I have purchased lots of LPs from these guys and they are awesome to deal with.

Enjoy,

Get this DVD, Blanco y Negro, Bebo & Cigala en Vivo. This is just about the best recorded Afro-Cuban Jazz piece out there.

Some Mo Horizons is a very well recorded cd in latin jazz. One of my favorites in my whole cd collection.
